Enjoy adventure tourism in India

There are more than 500 national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in India and you can get the thrilling experience of wildlife safaris by jeep, elephant ride or boat. This offers the chance to visit many rare and endangered species, including the tiger. The whole country is also a paradise for birdwatchers with many famous bird reserves, namely Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Bharatpur.

To put it simply, adventure tourism is a very good alternative to the beach holiday. On an adventure holiday, you get out there and do something that you enjoy, something that can be as challenging as you want but that gives you a sense of achievement and not just a sun tan.

India has an amazingly diverse climate and geography. There are mountains, fast flowing rivers, all types of forest (alpine, tropical and mangrove), alluvial plains, grasslands, deserts, oceans and beaches. This gives endless opportunities for adventure tourism among the beauty, colour and uniqueness of India. India is a famous tourist destination and people immediately remember The Taj Mahal about India. However, there is so much more there than the Taj Mahal and the Golden Triangle.

The impressive range of mountains, the Himalayas, and the surrounding foothills provide a fantastic environment for trekking, skiing and rock climbing while the fast-flowing rivers passing through them are perfect for white water rafting, kayaking and canoeing or even fishing. There are also opportunities for paragliding and hot air ballooning and other sky borne adventures. As well as being famous for white sandy beaches, the coastal areas also offer a huge range of water sports including diving and snorkeling.

The kind of transport you choose is also an adventure: bikers, just imagine touring the high-altitude snow deserts! Alternatively, take a jeep safari across the Himalayas or, if you prefer to walk, there are a lot of hiking opportunities from short walks to mighty treks. Or you can see India from horseback or perhaps from the back of a camel on a romantic safari through the desert.

Today it is very easy to arrange an eco-friendly adventure holiday to India – look on the internet and you will find professional tour operators who can help you choose the right trip for you and make all the necessary travel arrangements – wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do. You can be confident that they will organize everything well and smoothly.
